Back in the Game was not one of my favorites by Holly Chamberlain; however, may be worth reading for some women who relate.

The novel is about four women who find themselves going through a divorce. They share their miseries with one another along with some tops about divorce. One man turned gay, another had his wife cheat on him, another wants a baby and he doesn't and another has found his own true love.Of course, they go through the dating scene and not really my type of escape as too many problems and not a lot of substance.

BACK IN THE GAME Holly ChamberlinI enjoy reading Holly's works and this is another good one.Starts out with alternating chapters of four women who are getting or going through a divorce.They share their triumphs and days of misery with each other and some even find online or group sessions to help them over the problems that arise.Also at the beginning of every chapter are tips or quotes from other publications about divorce.One man turned gay, another had his wife cheat on him, another wants a baby and he doesn't and another has found his own true love.Their life's go through the dating scene again and what they find and how they cope with it all.I did find with the very short alternating chapters (some are long chapters) it was hard to follow each of them and keep them straight as to who was who.Love the locale and descriptions of the Boston area...References to Sex and The City are made and you can see the connection. Love how it all ends up where everything is tied together in harmony.Excerpts of The Summer Everything Changed is included at the end of the book.I received this book from The Kennsington Books in exchange for my honest review.

Nobody said life was fair. That love was forever. Or that getting back in the game would be easy. Then again, nobody said they had to play by the rules, either...Jess Marlowe doesn't know why she suddenly stopped loving her husband, Matt. According to her mum, it's because of Jess' inability to stick with anything, from ballet in the third grade to Bart, the "nice young man" she dated in college. Trust her mom to forget that Jess was bullied at ballet and that Bart could have earned a degree in crazy. So now Jess' marriage is over, but it feels like life is just beginning, if she can navigate this terrifying, thrilling, newly single existence that includes dates with S&M-addicted colleagues, a divorce "support" group that offers anything but, and a whole new way of thinking about love, lust, and everything in between. And the greatest surprise of all comes in discovering what she really wants from a future that's wide open - and utterly unpredictable...

Though a marriage may end, life goes on. Getting back in the dating game is never easy, but four newly single Bostonites are quickly learning that the only way to get anywhere in the dating world is to jump right in and test the waters.
